long live football

Arsenal's preemptive goal and the unclear look of the head coach on the sidelines made many Lions players feel worried.

Because of the top solid defense in Europe and a sharp offensive line, 1860 Munich are rarely behind in the game. In most games, they are always the first to score the goal, and then they can Grasp the initiative of the game, control the rhythm of the audience, and slowly drag the enemy to death with a sense of superiority of the winner.

It is rare for the Lions to encounter such a thing as being dominated by their opponents from the very beginning, so they are not used to it.

The Lions players were very anxious to equalize the score quickly, but they became more and more anxious because they lost their sense of normalcy.

Twelve minutes later, Arsenal launched an attack again. Van Persie broke through from the right to the Lions after a half-time pass and dribbled the ball into the front of the penalty area. After avoiding Dante's tackle, he raised his foot and passed the ball to the front point. Fabregas arrived in time without stopping, pushed and scored, 12:2.

Now the Lions players were completely stunned-two goals behind in just 15 minutes, how long have they not encountered such a bad start?

If the panic before Munich 1860 was five points, it has risen to seven points now.

There was massive applause from the stands. Those fans who were sitting in their seats reservedly, as if they were watching an opera, finally let go of their movements, opened their mouths wide and waved their arms to cheer for the home team.

The "Emirates Library" has finally become the "Emirates Stadium".

With Arsenal's two goals, the entire team became imposing, and the coordinated attacks on the court seemed to be playing a wonderful symphony.

The performance of the Munich 1860 players gradually became divided. Some players kept pressing forward to try to create offensive opportunities to reverse the score, while others felt that the most urgent task was to strengthen the defense to prevent the number of conceded goals from increasing.

One team of the two sides of the game is becoming more and more united, while the other team is becoming more and more disjointed. If this continues without making changes, 1860 Munich will definitely suffer bitter consequences.

Carl made a few gestures toward the field.

Several players who have been paying attention to him immediately understood. Beckham was in the midfield, and Koch kept calling on his teammates to calm down in the backcourt.

Under the command of the captain and deputy captain, several players of Munich 1860 who had become a little restless took a deep breath, cleared their heads, and then withdrew from the Arsenal half and returned to their positions. The whole team temporarily retreated to defend, Adjusting the rhythm that was just about to get out of control.

But in the eyes of the Arsenal players, this move is more like the Lions are retreating and showing weakness.

Have we scared them already?Arsenal players and fans were all laughing.

……

When the players on the field were busy obeying the command and adjusting their running positions, Karl dissipated the last trace of gloom between his brows, and his expression returned to a calm and calm expression.

Although clearly expressing unhappiness and making the players feel scared and play hard can be regarded as a provocative method, but when the team is obviously behind, it is better to adopt a gentler method against them, otherwise it will impose too much pressure on the players. If they can't bear the pressure and collapse under the pressure, it will be self-defeating.

Seeing that the boss looked calm and didn't look very angry, many Lions players secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was not so scared and nervous in my heart, and coupled with the reminders of the captains, 1860 Munich played more and more steadily.

If you continue to play at this pace, Arsenal will not break through the Lions' gate in the first half of the game.

However, neither Arsenal nor Munich 1860 will be satisfied with a 2-0 score in the first half.

Arsenal must still want to continue to score and directly lock the victory, while 1860 Munich is eager to equalize the score from top to bottom.

At this critical moment, it is most necessary for someone to stand up and decide the game, and even the fate of the two teams.

Irving was the one who stepped forward.

Although he has a strong desire to attack like his teammates, Owen has a more obvious advantage than others, because he knows Wenger and Arsenal. He has played for Liverpool for nearly ten years. I figured it out.

Franz, a senior lecturer of the French Football Association and a professor of the Strasbourg Sports Institute, once wrote a book called "Football". In the book, he put forward a point of view, that is: the energy of a team is not 11 players The numbers from 1 to 11 are accumulated, but after adding the abilities of 11 players, a variable N is added, and this N refers to the ability of the coach.

The team's energy can be brought into play as much as the coach's ability is, which is why the same team can achieve different results under different coaches.A good head coach can imprint his own distinctive mark on the style, tactics and even temperament of the team he coaches, so that outsiders can know "ah, whose team is this" at a glance. Ferguson, Mourinho, Wen Ge, Capello, Karl, etc. all belong to this type of coach.

So as long as Arsenal does not change coaches for a day, this team is still familiar to Owen and will not make him feel strange.

Many Arsenal players are old acquaintances of Irving. As long as he sees them, how to deal with this player will naturally appear in Owen's mind.

While looking for opportunities on the court, the ambitious Irving hinted that his teammates should help him at critical moments.

Finally, in the No.307 minute, when Arsenal organized an attack from the midfield again, Hleb made a mistake in passing the ball to Flamini.

Hleb originally wanted to pass the ball to Fabregas, but when he was about to raise his foot, he saw that the Lions midfielder Hummels was already standing behind Fabregas, and the distance was very close. To be on the safe side, Hleb passed the ball to Flamini, who was closer to him.

But Hleb obviously used too much force. Flamini stretched out his foot to stop the football but failed to block it. The football slipped past the latter's feet and jumped seven or eight meters, and finally rolled to Owen's side.

Godsend opportunity!

Whatever he wanted, God was helping him!Owen's face was immediately happy, and after receiving the ball, he quickly turned around and ran towards Arsenal's half-court.

After Hleb and Flamini froze for a moment, expressions of annoyance appeared on their faces.

When Owen broke into the Arsenal half and was about to continue to break through from the wing, the Gunners midfielder Ebrahim was in front of him.

Irving's right shoulder drooped, his instep stuck to the ball, and he made a move to pass the ball to Beckham not far away.

Sure enough, Eb was fooled and shifted his center of gravity to the right before Owen.

At this moment, Owen flicked his feet in the opposite direction, then twisted his waist and passed people from the left!

"Michael Owen!" shouted the England commentator: "When Munich 1860 was in danger, Owen began to gamble with his excellent personal skills. Can he successfully ride thousands of miles and send the ball into the Arsenal goal? Let us Let's wait and see!"

Expensive ticket prices and a fan base dominated by the middle class, while bringing huge incomes to Arsenal, also brought the team an obvious disadvantage-fans who pay attention to image not only for their own team during home games The sound of cheering is small, and even the harassment to the opponent is very limited. Even if the striker threatens their own goal, it is difficult for them to unite and make various noises in the stands to divide the opponent's heart.

Maybe it was because the boos from the stands were too low, or maybe I was too focused. The wind-like speed and familiarity with Arsenal's defense made it easy for Owen to break through the Gunners' defense and come near the penalty area.

Toure and Senderos formed the last line of defense against Owen in front of the goal.

Although the two were trying to outflank, Owen did not change his pace to try to avoid their encirclement, but moved the football forward and accelerated!

Toure and Senderos didn't understand what Owen was going to do, but they thought that as long as Owen continued to run forward, they would definitely be intercepted by them!

Owen ran faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, he had already confronted Toure and Senderos head-on!

Toure and Senderos began to close the gap between the two, forming a pincer attack on Owen.

However, Owen accelerated again against the sky. When the gap between the two was about to close, he stabbed forward with his right foot and shot the football out from between the two!

Then in the next second, Toure and Owen's bodies collided fiercely!Owen stepped back a few steps and staggered, almost falling to the ground!

But it doesn't matter, the shot has been sent by him!

Still a bouncing ball that clings to the turf!

One of the most difficult types of shots for goalkeepers to save!

Because of Lehmann's injury, the goalkeeper who started for the Gunners this time is the Spanish goalkeeper Almunia. Almunia has always existed as a substitute goalkeeper at Arsenal. He has good talent, but his experience and skills are due to lack of training. Both are lacking. When Irving raised his foot to shoot, Almunia quickly fell to the ground to save, but he miscalculated the direction of the football flying. When his hands stretched out to the right of the goal, the football had already flown from The middle slipped into the net.

More than 2000 Munich 1860 fans were silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into strong cheers collectively!

"GOOOOOOAL! Owen!"

"Relying on speed and shooting, a typical Zonda goal! Great Owen, amazing Owen, like he once saved the England team, he also saved Munich 1860 in crisis!"

"This goal may not be considered the best of the game, but it is definitely the most critical of the whole game! The difference between leading by one goal or two goals is self-evident. I just concluded that the victory belongs to Arsenal. Fans and friends, maybe you have to rethink this matter!"

……

After scoring the goal, Irving was very excited. He hugged several teammates one after another to control his boiling emotions.

The excited Munich 1860 fans kept cheering and whistling in the stands. Not long after, the Munich 1860 team song, which had not been sung since the opening, also sounded.

In the adjacent two VIP boxes, there was applause at the same time.

The two people in the applause were stunned for a moment, turned their heads together, and saw each other who was not familiar, but definitely not unfamiliar.

Abramovich: "Prince William?"

Prince William: "Mr Abramovich?"

Abramovich stood up on his own initiative, sat at a place close to Prince William, shook hands with Prince William, and said politely: "The weather is beautiful today, the sun is shining brightly, and the sky is as blue as a jewel. Your Highness is also grateful for Arsenal's game." Interested?” If Prince William wants to watch a football match, shouldn’t he go to Villa Park?It has long been no secret in the eyes of the English people what kind of sports and clubs the royal family members like.

Prince William smiled back: "Actually, I am more interested in Munich 1860, and I asked for tickets from my friends." Just like Abramovich's confusion, His Royal Highness also wondered why the owner of Chelsea Club appeared at the Emirates Stadium.

Abu was so smart that he guessed who the friend the other party was talking about from the short sentence of the prince: "Your Highness's ticket was given by Karl?"

Prince William nodded.

Abu showed a somewhat strange smile: "My box ticket was also given by Karl."

silence.

During this quiet time of nearly one minute, both Abu and Prince William had a thought rolling in their minds: This guy must have the same idea as me, right?

Before the atmosphere turned into embarrassment, Prince William coughed lightly and asked, "Don't you... Chelsea don't need a new coach right now? I haven't seen the news of Grant's resignation from the newspaper."

Abramovich asked: "Isn't it the same for the England national team? Mr. McLaren's position as the head coach of the British team is still firmly in place."

Both of them are now very sure that the other and their goals are the same.

Prince William is very confident in himself: "My proposal will be more suitable for Karl."

Abramovich is also very confident: "I can triple his salary."

Prince VS Rich, Fame VS Wealth?

"Everything has to be said first come first." The prince's tone was gentle, but his content was very strong: "I had this idea in February this year, but I just haven't had a chance to talk to him."

"First come, first served? That's just right." Abu smiled and refused to give in. "Actually, I fell in love with Karl last year."

Prince William: "..." I hate rich Russians!

Abramovich turned his head to watch the game - it's boring to talk to the prince who exists like the mascot of England. It's better to tell Karl the matter and let him decide for himself.

……

Instead of scolding his players at half-time, Karl chose the opposite path.

praise.

"I am very pleased that you are already a fully mature team. When encountering adversity, even if I did not give timely instructions off the court, you also know how to adjust and change yourself...not only did you not take the initiative of the game The power was handed over to others, but on the contrary, they fought hard and managed to regain some advantages... The real protagonists on the court are you, and only you have the ability to change everything. To be honest, I am very proud of you..."

The players were slightly reddened by Karl's words

"In the second half of the game, I hope you can continue the style of the first half. No matter what kind of situation you encounter, don't panic and stay calm. Only when you are completely clear-headed will you not miss the slightest chance of a comeback. Invincible...Since I have come to London, I have no intention of going back with a defeat!"

"Don't lose!"

"We will never lose to Arsenal!"

"Victory belongs to Munich 1860!"

The players hurriedly expressed their aspirations loudly.

Morale is very usable.Carl smiled: "Seeing your current state, I feel that even if I don't stand by and direct in the second half, you can complete the task excellently."

The players did not follow this time: "It will feel so strange to play without the boss standing on the sidelines!"

"Yes, the boss is the backbone, we won't get used to you without you! The whole feeling of playing football is going to be wrong!"

'It turns out that the Germans are so nasty when they flatter. The only Chinese player in the locker room, Shao Jiayi, couldn't help but slander: "But this is true, the boss's position in the team is like a Dinghai magic needle, and everyone will feel bad without him." '

……

At the beginning of the second half, 1860 Munich launched a very violent attack on Arsenal's goal with the idea of ​​equalizing the score as soon as possible.

Arsenal expected all of this. In order to stop the Lions' offense, the Gunners passed the football back and forth. As long as they can firmly control the ball, the Lions' offense is useless no matter how beautiful it is in the legend.

Attacking on the ground, flying on both wings, combining sides and centrally, advancing carpet-like, Arsenal's tactics were as smooth and free as they were in the first half.

1860 Munich's attack started out as diverse as the Gunners', but as fewer and fewer passes were sent to the Arsenal half, Karl made a slight change to the players' positions, allowing them to increase Some midfielders pressed close to each other, intending to compete for the ball, and by the way forced Arsenal to commit more fouls when passing the ball.

Soon, taking advantage of another pass error by Arsenal, 1860 Munich quickly launched an attack.

Owen sent a long shot from 25 meters in front of the goal. Arsenal defender Gallas jumped high in front of the goal and blocked the ball out of the touchline with a lion shake.

1860 Munich wins a corner.

"Beckham took the corner...the football went straight to the back where the Lions had the most players as if it had radar on its head...beautiful! A beautiful scorpion wag from Portillo and the ball went through The gap in the crowd went into the net and it was a beautiful shot!"

"Munich 1860's second goal of the game, a goal from a corner kick! It was so easy for them to level the score, so easy that I wondered if I was dreaming."

"Wait until I pinch myself and try... oh! This is real, not a dream."

"Munich 1860 fans should thank two people, Beckham and Portillo. Beckham's superb kick-off skills enable him to send the ball exactly where he wants no matter where he serves on the court , all the strikers love him, all the goalkeepers hate him, and Portillo has superb skills at his feet, and sometimes his dribbling moves are so dazzling that people wonder if he can also play the violin with his right foot, there is no such pair feet, and can't shoot a fancy shot like a scorpion wagging its tail...Of course, if Arsenal fans want to hate, they can choose to hate these two people."

The advantage of leading by two goals in the first half turned into a 2:2 draw in the blink of an eye. The Arsenal players felt sorry and worried.

Wenger stared at the stadium for a while, and wanted to take out a notebook from his pocket to write down something, but his right hand touched the clothes several times but couldn't find the entrance. Looking down suspiciously, it turned out that the zipper of his pocket was closed Did not pull away.

Taking a deep breath, Wenger knew he was a little messed up.
